Execution of: /usr/sbin/useradd -m ’snotty’
works from the command line without problem.

Comment 1 Gerald (Jerry) Carter (dead mail address) 2005-12-20 07:23:42 UTC 
I can't reproduce this.  

What is this log ?

  _samr_create_user:  can add this account : False
useradd: Invalid account name `’snotty’'.
  _samr_create_user: Running the command `/usr/sbin/useradd -m
’snotty’' gave 6

Seems that you don't have the SeAddUserPrivilege.  I'm assuming the 
`’snotty’' string is just a translation issue when posting 
the bug report.
Comment 2 John H Terpstra (mail address dead( 2005-12-20 09:34:44 UTC 
Your anaysis was correct on both counts.
